The latest Forza Horizon 3 update has improved performance and stability for the PC version

Forza Horizon 3 released a little while back to some pretty damn good reviews, but as is standard with AAA games these days it also came with a whole slew of performance issues. There were continuous crashes on certain PC configurations, the FPS was inconsistent across the board, some of the textures had a strange flickering issue, and overall the whole thing was a bit of a mess.

Thankfully, the developers released numerous patches over the past few weeks and have already managed to address the majority of these issues, with the most recent patch serving as a breakthrough for those that still had to deal with drastic FPS drops and seemingly random crashes. If you're interested in all of the specifics, as well as some of the XP changes that came along with this update, here are the patch notes:

Stability

• Fixed an issue where having a microphone enabled in the game but no speech pack installed would cause the title to crash on Windows 10

• Fixed an issue that would cause a game crash for some Windows 10 players when entering Maroondah Road Bucket List event

• Fixed an issue that would cause a game crash for some Windows 10 and Xbox One players when joining online Bucket List Blueprint challenges with mismatched DLC

• Fixed an issue that would cause a game crash for some Xbox One players when pausing the game

• Fixed an issue that would cause a game crash for some players when collecting Loyalty Rewards while in a Convoy

• Fixed an issue that would cause a game crash for some players when using the AMD R9 Fury X graphics card on Windows 10

This update is live on both the Xbox One and PC, so if you were previously having issues with Forza Horizon 3, give it a look and see if things have improved. If you're still suffering from problems, worry not as the developers have already announced another series of performance orientated updates in order to weed out the remaining bugs and issues. When exactly these patches will come, that I unfortunately don't know, but here's to hoping its as soon as possible!
